Safety instructions
Use of warnings and notes
There are two types of safety instructions throughout this manual:
Notes draw attention to a particular condition or fact, or give information on a
subject.
Warnings caution you about conditions which can result in serious injury or death
and/or damage to the equipment. They also tell you how to avoid the danger. The
warning symbols are used as follows:
Electricity warning warns of hazards from electricity which can cause physical
injury and/or damage to the equipment.
General warning warns about conditions, other than those caused by electricity,
which can result in physical injury and/or damage to the equipment.

General safety
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage
to the equipment can occur.
Use safety shoes to avoid foot injury.
Handle the drive carefully.
Beware of hot surfaces. Some parts, such as heatsinks, remain hot for a while
after disconnection of the electrical supply. See chapter Technical data on page
277.
Keep the drive in its package or protect it otherwise from dust and burr from
drilling and grinding until you install it. Protect also the installed drive against dust
and burr. Electrically conductive debris inside the drive can cause damage or
malfunction.

Electrical safety
WARNING! The ACS550 adjustable speed AC drive should ONLY be installed by a
qualified electrician.

WARNING! Even when the motor is stopped, dangerous voltage is present at the
power circuit terminals U1, V1, W1 and U2, V2, W2 and, depending on the frame
size, UDC+ and UDC-, or BRK+ and BRK-.

Safety instructions

ACS550-01/U1 Users Manual

WARNING! Dangerous voltage is present when input power is connected. After


disconnecting the supply, wait at least 5 minutes (to let the intermediate circuit
capacitors discharge) before removing the cover.

WARNING! Even when power is switched off from the input terminals of the
ACS550, there may be dangerous voltage (from external sources) on the terminals
of the relay outputs RO1RO3.

WARNING! When the control terminals of two or more drives are connected in
parallel, the auxiliary voltage for these control connections must be taken from a
single source which can either be one of the drives or an external supply.

WARNING! If you install the drive on an IT system (an ungrounded power system or
a high-resistance-grounded [over 30 ohms] power system), disconnect the internal
EMC filter, otherwise the system will be connected to ground potential through the
EMC filter capacitors. This can cause danger or damage the drive.
If you install the drive on a corner-grounded TN system, disconnect the internal EMC
filter, otherwise the system will be connected to ground potential through the EMC
filter capacitors. This will damage the drive.
Note: Disconnecting the internal EMC filter increases the conducted emission and
reduces the drive EMC compatibility considerably.
See section Disconnecting the internal EMC filter on page 27. Also see sections IT
systems on page 286 and Corner-grounded TN systems on page 285.

WARNING! Do not attempt to install or remove EM1, EM3, F1 or F2 screws while


power is applied to the drives input terminals.

Maintenance
WARNING! The ACS550-01/U1 is not field repairable. Never attempt to repair a
malfunctioning drive; contact your local ABB representative for replacement.

Safety instructions

ACS550-01/U1 Users Manual

Control of the drive and motor


WARNING! Do not control the motor with the disconnecting device (disconnecting
means); instead, use the control panel start and stop keys
and
, or
commands via the I/O board of the drive. The maximum allowed number of charging
cycles of the DC capacitors (i.e. power-ups by applying power) is five in ten minutes.

WARNING! The ACS550 will start up automatically after an input voltage interruption
if the external run command is on.

Note: For more technical information, contact your local ABB representative.

Confirm that the enclosure is appropriate, based on the site contamination level:
IP21 / UL type 1 enclosure: The site must be free of airborne dust, corrosive
gases or liquids, and conductive contaminants such as dripping water,
condensation, carbon dust and metallic particles.
IP54 / UL type 12 enclosure: This enclosure provides protection from airborne
dust and light sprays or splashing water from all directions.
If, for some reason, an IP21 drive needs to be installed without the conduit box or
cover, or an IP54 drive without the conduit plate or hood, see the note in chapter
Technical data, page 310.
Suitable mounting location
Confirm that the mounting location meets the following constraints:
The drive must be mounted vertically on a smooth, solid surface, and in a suitable
environment as defined above. For horizontal installation, contact your local ABB
representative for more information.
The minimum space requirements for the drive are the outside dimensions (see
section Outside dimensions on page 304), plus air flow space around the drive
(see section Losses, cooling data and noise on page 301).
The distance between the motor and the drive is limited by the maximum motor
cable length. See section Motor connection specifications on page 289.
The mounting site must support the drives modest weight. See section Weight on

Disconnecting the internal EMC filter


On certain types of systems, you must disconnect the internal EMC filter, otherwise
the system will be connected to ground potential through the EMC filter capacitors,
which might cause danger, or damage the drive.
Note: Disconnecting the internal EMC filter increases the conducted emission and
reduces the drive EMC compatibility considerably.
The following table shows the installation rules for the EMC filter screws in order to
connect or disconnect the filter, depending on the system type and the frame size.
For more information on the different system types, see IT systems on page 286 and
Corner-grounded TN systems on page 285.

WARNING! All ELV (Extra Low Voltage) circuits connected to the drive must be used
within a zone of equipotential bonding, i.e. within a zone where all simultaneously
accessible conductive parts are electrically connected to prevent hazardous voltages
appearing between them. This is accomplished by a proper factory grounding.
The terminals on the control board as well as on the optional modules attachable to
the board fulfil the Protective Extra Low Voltage (PELV) requirements stated in
EN 50178, provided that the external circuits connected to the terminals also fulfil
the requirements and the installation site is below 2000 m (6562 ft).

Check the insulation of the assembly


Drive
Do not make any voltage tolerance or insulation resistance tests on any part of the
drive as testing can damage the drive. Every drive has been tested for insulation
between the main circuit and the chassis at the factory. Also, there are voltagelimiting circuits inside the drive which cut down the testing voltage automatically.
Supply cable
Check the insulation of the supply (input) cable according to local regulations before
connecting to the drive.
Motor and motor cable
Check the insulation of the motor and motor cable as follows:
1. Check that the motor cable is connected to the motor, and disconnected from the
drive output terminals U2, V2 and W2.
2. Measure the insulation resistance between phase
U1
conductors and between each phase conductor and
M

voltage of 1000 V DC. The insulation resistance of an
ABB motor must exceed 100 Mohm (reference value

other motors, please consult the manufacturers instructions. Note: Moisture inside
the motor casing will reduce the insulation resistance. If moisture is suspected, dry
the motor and repeat the measurement.

Start-up, control with I/O and ID Run


The chapter instructs how to:
perform the start-up
start, stop, change the direction of rotation and adjust the speed of the motor
through the I/O interface
perform an Identification Run for the drive.
Using the control panel to do these tasks is explained briefly in this chapter. For
details on how to use the control panel, refer to chapter Control panels starting on
page 47.

How to start up the drive


How you start up the drive depends on the control panel you have.
If you have an Assistant Control Panel, you can either run the Start-up
Assistant (see section How to perform the guided start-up on page 42) or perform
a limited start-up (see section How to perform the limited start-up on page 37).
The Start-up Assistant, which is included in the Assistant Control Panel only,
guides you through all essential settings to be done. In the limited start-up, the
drive gives no guidance; you go through the very basic settings by following the
instructions given in the manual.
If you have a Basic Control Panel, follow the instructions given in section How
to perform the limited start-up on page 37.
How to perform the limited start-up
For the limited start-up, you can use the Basic Control Panel or the Assistant Control
Panel. The instructions below are valid for both control panels, but the displays
shown are the Basic Control Panel displays, unless the instruction applies to the
Assistant Control Panel only.
Before you start, ensure that you have the motor nameplate data on hand.
SAFETY
The start-up may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The safety instructions given in chapter Safety instructions must be followed during
the start-up procedure.
The drive will start up automatically at power up, if the external run command is on.
Check the installation. See the checklist in chapter Installation, page 35.

How to perform the ID Run


The drive estimates motor characteristics automatically using identification
magnetization when the drive is started for the first time and after any motor
parameter (Group 99: START-UP DATA) is changed. This is valid when parameter
9910 ID RUN has value 0 (OFF/IDMAGN), and
parameter 9904 = 1 (VECTOR:SPEED) or 2 (VECTOR:TORQ), or
parameter 9904 = 3 (SCALAR:FREQ) and parameter 2101 = 3 (SCALAR FLYST) or
5 (FLY + BOOST).
In most applications there is no need to perform a separate ID Run [9910 ID RUN =
1 (ON)]. The ID Run should be selected if:
vector control mode is used [parameter 9904 = 1 (VECTOR:SPEED) or
2 (VECTOR:TORQ)], and/or
the operation point is near zero speed, and/or
operation at torque range above the motor nominal torque over a wide speed
range and without any measured speed feedback is required.
Note: If motor parameters (Group 99: START-UP DATA) are changed after the ID
Run, it must be repeated.
ID Run procedure
The general parameter setting procedure is not repeated here. For Assistant Control
Panel see page 55 and for Basic Control Panel page 73 in chapter Control panels.
PRE-CHECK
WARNING! The motor will run at up to approximately 5080% of the nominal speed
during the ID Run. The motor will rotate in the forward direction. Ensure that it is
safe to run the motor before performing the ID Run!
De-couple the motor from the driven equipment.
Check that the values of the motor data parameters 99059909 are equivalent to those on
the motor nameplate, as shown in the steps on page 39.
If parameter values (Group 01: OPERATING DATA to Group 98: OPTIONS) are changed
before the ID Run, check that the new settings meet the following conditions:

About control panels
Use a control panel to control the drive, read status data and adjust parameters. The
drive works with either of two different control panel types:
Basic Control Panel This panel (described in section Basic Control Panel on
page 68) provides basic tools for manual entry of parameter values.
Assistant Control Panel This panel (described below) includes pre-programmed
assistants to automate the most common parameter setups. The panel provides
language support. It is available with different language sets.

Compatibility
The manual is compatible with the following panel versions:
Basic Control Panel: ACS-CP-C Rev. M or later
Assistant Control Panel (Area 1): ACS-CP-A Rev. F or later

How to select the monitored signals


Step
1.

Action
You can select which signals are monitored in the Output mode and how they
are displayed with Group 34: PANEL DISPLAY parameters. See page 55 for
detailed instructions on changing parameter values.

LOC

By default, the display shows three signals. The particular default signals
depend on the value of parameter 9902 APPLIC MACRO: For macros whose
default value of parameter 9904 MOTOR CTRL MODE is 1 (VECTOR:SPEED), the
default for signal 1 is 0102 SPEED, otherwise 0103 OUTPUT FREQ. The defaults
for signals 2 and 3 are always 0104 CURRENT and 0105 TORQUE, respectively.

[103]
CANCEL
LOC

To change the default signals, select up to three signals from Group 01:
OPERATING DATA to be shown.

[104]
CANCEL

Signal 1: Change the value of parameter 3401 SIGNAL1 PARAM to the index of
the signal parameter in Group 01: OPERATING DATA (= number of the
parameter without the leading zero), e.g. 105 means parameter 0105 TORQUE.
Value 100 means that no signal is displayed.
Repeat for signals 2 (3408 SIGNAL2 PARAM) and 3 (3415 SIGNAL3 PARAM).
2.

Select how you want the signals to be displayed: as a decimal number or a bar
graph. For decimal numbers, you can specify the decimal point location, or use
the decimal point location and unit of the source signal [setting (9 (DIRECT)]. For
details, see parameter 3404.
Signal 1: parameter 3404 OUTPUT1 DSP FORM
Signal 2: parameter 3411 OUTPUT2 DSP FORM
Signal 3: parameter 3418 OUTPUT3 DSP FORM.

3.

Select the units to be displayed for the signals. This has no effect if parameter
3404/3411/3418 is set to 9 (DIRECT). For details, see parameter 3405.
Signal 1: parameter 3405 OUTPUT1 UNIT
Signal 2: parameter 3412 OUTPUT2 UNIT
Signal 3: parameter 3419 OUTPUT3 UNIT.

4.

Display

Select the scalings for the signals by specifying the minimum and maximum
display values. This has no effect if parameter 3404/3411/3418 is set to 9
(DIRECT). For details, see parameters 3406 and 3407.
Signal 1: parameters 3406 OUTPUT1 MIN and 3407 OUTPUT1 MAX

Assistants mode
When the drive is first powered up, the Start-up Assistant guides you through the
setup of the basic parameters. The Start-up Assistant is divided into assistants, each
of which guides you through the task of specifying a related parameter set, for
example Motor Set-up or PID Control. You can activate the assistants one after the
other as the Start-up Assistant suggests, or independently. The tasks of the
assistants are listed in the table on page 58.
In the Assistants mode, you can:
use assistants to guide you through the specification of a set of basic parameters
start, stop, change the direction and switch between local and remote control.

Parameter Backup mode


The Parameter Backup mode is used to export parameters from one drive to another
or to make a backup of the drive parameters. Uploading to the panel stores all drive
parameters, including up to two user sets, to the Assistant Control Panel. The full
set, partial parameter set (application) and user sets can then be downloaded from
the control panel to another drive or the same drive. Uploading and downloading can
be performed in local control.
The control panel memory is non-volatile and does not depend on the panel battery.
In the Parameter Backup mode, you can:
copy all parameters from the drive to the control panel (UPLOAD TO PANEL).
This includes all defined user sets of parameters and internal (not adjustable by
the user) parameters such as those created by the ID Run.
view the information about the backup stored to the control panel with UPLOAD
TO PANEL (BACKUP INFO). This includes e.g. the type and rating of the drive
where the backup was made. It is useful to check this information when you are
going to copy the parameters to another drive with DOWNLOAD FULL SET to
ensure that the drives match.
restore the full parameter set from the control panel to the drive (DOWNLOAD
FULL SET). This writes all parameters, including the internal non-user-adjustable
motor parameters, to the drive. It does not include the user sets of parameters.
Note: Only use this function to restore a drive from a backup or to transfer
parameters to systems that are identical to the original system.
copy a partial parameter set (part of the full set) from the control panel to a drive
(DOWNLOAD APPLICATION). The partial set does not include user sets, internal
motor parameters, parameters 99059909, 1605, 1607, 5201, nor any Group
51: EXT COMM MODULE and Group 53: EFB PROTOCOL parameters.
The source and target drives and their motor sizes do not need to be the same.
copy USER S1 parameters from the control panel to the drive (DOWNLOAD
USER SET1). A user set includes Group 99: START-UP DATA parameters and
the internal motor parameters.
The function is only shown on the menu when User Set 1 has been first saved
using parameter 9902 APPLIC MACRO (see section User parameter sets on page
88) and then uploaded to the control panel with UPLOAD TO PANEL.
copy USER S2 parameters from the control panel to the drive (DOWNLOAD

Connection examples of two-wire and three-wire sensors


Many applications use process PI(D) and need a feedback signal from the process.
The feedback signal is typically connected to analog input 2 (AI2).
The macro wiring diagrams for each macro earlier in this chapter use an externally
powered sensor (connections not shown). The figures below give examples of
connections using a two-wire or three-wire sensor/transmitter supplied by the drive
auxiliary voltage output.

User parameter sets


In addition to the standard application macros, it is possible to save two user
parameter sets into the permanent memory and load them at a later time. A user
parameter set consists of the user parameter settings, including Group 99: STARTUP DATA, and the results of the motor identification. The panel reference is also
saved if the user parameter set is saved and loaded in local control. The remote
control setting is saved into the user parameter set, but the local control setting is
not.
The steps below show how to save and load User Parameter Set 1. The procedure
for User Parameter Set 2 is identical, only the parameter 9902 values are different.
To save User Parameter Set 1:
Adjust the parameters. Perform the motor identification if it is needed in the
application but it is not done yet.
Save the parameter settings and the results of the motor identification to the
permanent memory by changing parameter 9902 to -1 (USER S1 SAVE).
Press

SAVE

(Assistant Control Panel) or

MENU
ENTER

(Basic Control Panel).

To load User Parameter Set 1:


Change parameter 9902 to 0 (USER S1 LOAD).
Press

SAVE

(Assistant Control Panel) or

MENU
ENTER

(Basic Control Panel) to load.

The user parameter set can also be switched through digital inputs (see parameter
1605).
Note: Loading the user parameter set restores the parameter settings including
Group 99: START-UP DATA and the results of the motor identification. Check that
the settings correspond to the motor used.
Hint: The user can for example switch the drive between two motors without having
to adjust the motor parameters and to repeat the motor identification every time the
motor is changed. The user needs only to adjust the settings and perform the motor
identification once for each motor and then to save the data as two user parameter
sets. When the motor is changed, only the corresponding user parameter set needs

Macro default values for parameters


Parameter default values are listed in section Complete parameter list on page 91.
Changing from the default macro (ABB Standard), that is, editing the value of
parameter 9902, changes the parameter default values as defined in the following
tables.
Note: There are two sets of values because the defaults are configured for 50 Hz/
IEC compliance (ACS550-01) and 60 Hz/NEMA compliance (ACS550-U1).

Complete parameter descriptions


This section describes the actual signals and parameters for ACS550.
Group 99: START-UP DATA
This group defines special start-up data required to:
set up the drive
enter motor information.
Code Description
9901 LANGUAGE
Selects the display language. There are two different Assistant Control Panels, each supporting a different language
set. (Panel ACS-CP-L supporting languages 0, 2, 1115 has been integrated into ACS-CP-A.)
Assistant Control Panel ACS-CP-A:
1 = ENGLISH (AM)
0 = ENGLISH
5 = PORTUGUES
6 = NEDERLANDS
10 = SVENSKA
11 = RUSSKI
15 = MAGYAR
16 = ELLINIKA
Assistant Control Panel ACS-CP-D (Asia):
0 = ENGLISH
1 = CHINESE

2 = DEUTSCH
7 = FRANAIS
12 = POLSKI

3 = ITALIANO
8 = DANSK
13 = TRKE

2 = KOREAN

3 = JAPANESE

4 = ESPAOL
9 = SUOMI
14 = CZECH

9902 APPLIC MACRO


Selects an application macro. Application macros automatically edit parameters to configure the ACS550 for a
particular application.
1 = ABB STANDARD
6 = PID CONTROL
0 = USER S1 LOAD

2 = 3-WIRE
7 = PFC CONTROL
-1 = USER S1 SAVE

3 = ALTERNATE
8 = TORQUE CTRL
-2 = USER S2 LOAD

4 = MOTOR POT
5 = HAND/AUTO
31 = LOAD FD SET
-3 = USER S2 SAVE

31 = LOAD FD SET FlashDrop parameter values as defined by the FlashDrop file. Parameter view is selected by
parameter 1611 PARAMETER VIEW.
FlashDrop is an optional device for fast copying of parameters to unpowered drives. FlashDrop allows easy
customization of the parameter list, e.g. selected parameters can be hidden. For more information, see MFDT-01
FlashDrop Users Manual (3AFE68591074 [English]).
-1 = USER S1 SAVE, -3 = USER S2 SAVE With these it is possible to save two different user parameter sets into the
drive permanent memory for later use. Each set contains parameter settings, including Group 99: START-UP
DATA, and the results of the motor identification run.
0 = USER S1 LOAD, -2 = USER S2 LOAD With these the user parameter sets can be taken back in use.
9904 MOTOR CTRL MODE
Selects the motor control mode.
1 = VECTOR:SPEED sensorless vector control mode.
Reference 1 is speed reference in rpm.
Reference 2 is speed reference in % (100% is absolute maximum speed, equal to the value of parameter 2002
MAXIMUM SPEED, or 2001 MINIMUM SPEED if the absolute value of the minimum speed is greater than the maximum
speed).
2 = VECTOR:TORQ.
Reference 1 is speed reference in rpm.
Reference 2 is torque reference in % (100% is nominal torque.)
3 = SCALAR:FREQ scalar control mode.
Reference 1 is frequency reference in Hz.
Reference 2 is frequency reference in % (100% is absolute maximum frequency, equal to the value of parameter
2008 MAXIMUM FREQ, or 2007 MINIMUM FREQ if the absolute value of the minimum speed is greater than the
maximum speed).

Defines the nominal motor power.
Must equal the value on the motor rating plate.
9910 ID RUN
This parameter controls a self-calibration process called the Motor ID Run. During this process, the drive operates
the motor (motor rotating) and makes measurements in order to identify motor characteristics and create a model
used for internal calculations. An ID Run is especially effective when:
vector control mode is used [parameter 9904 = 1 (VECTOR:SPEED) or 2 (VECTOR:TORQ)], and/or
operation point is near zero speed, and/or
operation requires a torque range above the motor nominal torque, over a wide speed range, and without any
measured speed feedback (i.e. without a pulse encoder).
0 = OFF/IDMAGN The Motor ID Run process is not run. Identification magnetization is performed, depending on
parameter 9904 and 2101 settings. In identification magnetization, the motor model is calculated at first start by
magnetizing the motor for 10 to 15 s at zero speed (motor not rotating). The model is recalculated always at start
after motor parameter changes.
Parameter 9904 = 1 (VECTOR:SPEED) or 2 (VECTOR:TORQ): Identification magnetization is performed.
Parameter 9904 = 3 (SCALAR:FREQ) and parameter 2101 = 3 (SCALAR FLYST) or 5 (FLY + BOOST): Identification
magnetization is performed.
Parameter 9904 = 3 (SCALAR:FREQ) and parameter 2101 has other value than 3 (SCALAR FLYST) or 5 (FLY +
BOOST): Identification magnetization is not performed.
1 = ON Enables the Motor ID Run, during which the motor is rotating, at the next start command. After run
completion, this value automatically changes to 0.
Note: The motor must be de-coupled from the driven equipment.
Note: If motor parameters are changed after ID Run, repeat the ID Run.
WARNING! The motor will run at up to approximately 5080% of the nominal speed during the ID Run. The
motor will rotate in the forward direction.
Ensure that it is safe to run the motor before performing the ID Run!
See also section How to perform the ID Run on page 45.
9915 MOTOR COSPHI
Defines the nominal motor cos phi (power factor). The parameter improves performance especially with high
efficiency motors.
0 = IDENTIFIED Drive identifies the cos phi automatically by estimation.
0.010.97 Value entered used as the cos phi.

Requires parameter 1003 = 3 (REQUEST).
WARNING! Because the low end of the reference
range commands full reverse operation, do not use 0 V as the lower end of the reference range. Doing so
means that if the control signal is lost (which is a 0 V input) the result is full reverse operation. Instead, use
the following set-up so that loss of the analog input triggers a fault, stopping the drive:
Set parameter 1301 MINIMUM AI1 (1304 MINIMUM AI2) at 20% (2 V or 4 mA).
Set parameter 3021 AI1 FAULT LIMIT to a value 5% or higher.
Set parameter 3001 AI<MIN FUNCTION to 1 (FAULT).
4 = AI2/JOYST Defines analog input 2 (AI2), configured for joystick operation, as the reference source.

Group 20: LIMITS


This group defines minimum and maximum limits to follow in driving the motor
speed, frequency, current, torque, etc.
Code Description
2001 MINIMUM SPEED
Defines the minimum speed (rpm) allowed.
A positive (or zero) minimum speed value defines two ranges,
one positive and one negative.
A negative minimum speed value defines one speed range.
See the figure.

2003 MAX CURRENT
Defines the maximum output current (A) supplied by the drive to the motor.
2005 OVERVOLT CTRL
Sets the DC overvoltage controller on or off.
Fast braking of a high inertia load causes the DC bus voltage to rise to the overvoltage control limit. To prevent the
DC voltage from exceeding the trip limit, the overvoltage controller automatically decreases the braking torque by
increasing output frequency.
0 = DISABLE Disables controller.
1 = ENABLE Enables controller
Note: If a braking chopper or a braking resistor is connected to the drive, this parameter value must be set to
0 (DISABLE) to ensure proper operation of the chopper.
2006 UNDERVOLT CTRL
Sets the DC undervoltage controller on or off. When on:
If the DC bus voltage drops due to loss of input power, the undervoltage controller decreases the motor speed in
order to keep the DC bus voltage above the lower limit.
When the motor speed decreases, the inertia of the load causes regeneration back into the drive, keeping the DC
bus charged and preventing an undervoltage trip.
The DC undervoltage controller increases power loss ride-through on systems with a high inertia, such as a
centrifuge or a fan.
0 = DISABLE Disables controller.
1 = ENABLE(TIME) Enables controller with 500 ms time limit for operation.
2 = ENABLE Enables controller without maximum time limit for operation.

Group 21: START/STOP


This group defines how the motor starts and stops. The ACS550 supports several
start and stop modes.
Code Description
2101 START FUNCTION
Selects the motor start method. The valid options depend on the value of parameter 9904 MOTOR CTRL MODE.
1 = AUTO Selects the automatic start mode.
Vector control modes: Optimal start in most cases. The drive automatically selects the correct output frequency to
start a rotating motor.
SCALAR:FREQ mode: Immediate start from zero frequency. Identical to selection 8 = RAMP.
2 = DC MAGN Selects the DC Magnetizing start mode.
Note: The DC Magnetizing start mode cannot start a rotating motor.
Note: The drive starts when the set pre-magnetizing time (parameter 2103 DC MAGN TIME) has passed, even if motor
magnetization is not complete.
Vector control modes: Magnetizes the motor within the time determined by the parameter 2103 DC MAGN TIME
using DC current. The normal control is released exactly after the magnetizing time. This selection guarantees
the highest possible break-away torque.
SCALAR:FREQ mode: Magnetizes the motor within the time determined by the parameter 2103 DC MAGN TIME using
DC current. The normal control is released exactly after the magnetizing time.
3 = SCALAR FLYST Selects the flying start mode.
Vector control modes: Not applicable.
SCALAR:FREQ mode: The drive automatically selects the correct output frequency to start a rotating motor useful
if the motor is already rotating and if the drive will start smoothly at the current frequency.
Cannot be used in multimotor systems.
4 = TORQ BOOST Selects the automatic torque boost mode (SCALAR:FREQ mode only).
May be necessary in drives with high starting torque.
Torque boost is only applied at start, ending when output frequency exceeds 20 Hz or when output frequency is
equal to reference.
In the beginning the motor magnetizes within the time determined by the parameter 2103 DC MAGN TIME using DC
current.
See parameter 2110 TORQ BOOST CURR.
5 = FLY + BOOST Selects both the flying start and the torque boost mode (SCALAR:FREQ mode only).
Flying start routine is performed first and the motor is magnetized. If the speed is found to be zero, the torque
boost is done.
8 = RAMP Immediate start from zero frequency.
2102 STOP FUNCTION
Selects the motor stop method.
1 = COAST Selects cutting off the motor power as the stop method. The motor coasts to stop.
2 = RAMP Selects using a deceleration ramp.
Deceleration ramp is defined by 2203 DECELER TIME 1 or 2206 DECELER TIME 2 (whichever is active).
2103 DC MAGN TIME
Defines the pre-magnetizing time for the DC Magnetizing start mode.
Use parameter 2101 to select the start mode.
After the start command, the drive pre-magnetizes the motor for the time defined here and then starts the motor.
Set the pre-magnetizing time just long enough to allow full motor magnetization. Too long a time heats the motor
excessively.
2104 DC HOLD CTL
Motor
speed
Selects whether DC current is used for braking or DC Hold.
0 = NOT SEL Disables the DC current operation.
1 = DC HOLD Enables the DC Hold function. See the diagram.
Requires parameter 9904 MOTOR CTRL MODE = 1 (VECTOR:SPEED)
Stops generating sinusoidal current and injects DC into the motor when
both the reference and the motor speed drop below the value of parameter
Ref
2105.
When the reference rises above the level of parameter 2105 the drive
DC hold
resumes normal operation.
speed
2 = DC BRAKING Enables the DC Injection Braking after modulation has
stopped.
If parameter 2102 STOP FUNCTION is 1 (COAST), braking is applied after start is removed.
If parameter 2102 STOP FUNCTION is 2 (RAMP), braking is applied after ramp.

2107 DC BRAKE TIME
Defines the DC brake time after modulation has stopped, if parameter 2104 is 2 (DC BRAKING).
2108 START INHIBIT
Sets the Start inhibit function on or off. If the drive is not actively started and running, the Start inhibit function ignores
a pending start command in any of the following situations and a new start command is required:
A fault is reset.
Run Enable (parameter 1601) activates while start command is active.
Mode changes from local to remote.
Control switches from EXT1 to EXT2.
Control switches from EXT2 to EXT1.
0 = OFF Disables the Start inhibit function.
1 = ON Enables the Start inhibit function.
2109 EMERG STOP SEL
Defines control of the Emergency stop command. When activated:
Emergency stop decelerates the motor using the emergency stop ramp (parameter 2208 EMERG DEC TIME).
Requires an external stop command and removal of the emergency stop command before drive can restart.
0 = NOT SEL Disables the Emergency stop function through digital inputs.
1 = DI1 Defines digital input DI1 as the control for Emergency stop command.
Activating the digital input issues an Emergency stop command.

Delay
Zero speed delay can be used e.g. with jogging function or mechanical brake.
No Zero Speed Delay
The drive receives a stop command and decelerates along a ramp. When the motor actual speed falls below an
internal limit (called Zero Speed), the speed controller is switched off. The drive modulation is stopped and the motor
coasts to standstill.
With Zero Speed Delay
The drive receives a stop command and decelerates along a ramp. When the motor actual speed falls below an
internal limit (called Zero Speed), the zero speed delay function activates. During the delay the functions keeps the
speed controller live: The drive modulates, motor is magnetized and drive is ready for a quick restart.
Note: Parameter 2102 STOP FUNCTION must be 2 = RAMP for zero speed delay to operate.
0.0 = NOT SEL Disables the Zero Speed Delay function.
2113 START DELAY
Defines the Start delay. After the conditions for start have been fulfilled, the drive waits until the delay has elapsed
and then starts the motor. Start delay can be used with all start modes.
If START DELAY = zero, the delay is disabled.
During the Start delay, alarm 2028 START DELAY is shown.

Code Description
2606 SWITCHING FREQ
Sets the switching frequency for the drive. Also see parameter 2607 SWITCH FREQ CTRL and section Switching
frequency derating on page 280.
Higher switching frequencies mean less noise.
In multimotor systems, do not change the switching frequency from the default value.
12 kHz switching frequency is available in scalar control mode, that is when parameter 9904 MOTOR CTRL MODE = 3

2608 SLIP COMP RATIO


Sets gain for slip compensation (in %).
A squirrel-cage motor slips under load. Increasing the frequency as the motor torque increases compensates for
the slip.
Requires parameter 9904 MOTOR CTRL MODE = 3 (SCALAR:FREQ).
0 No slip compensation.
1200 Increasing slip compensation. 100% means full slip compensation.
2609 NOISE SMOOTHING
This parameter introduces a random component to the switching frequency. Noise smoothing distributes the acoustic
motor noise over a range of frequencies instead of a single tonal frequency resulting in lower peak noise intensity.
The random component has an average of 0 Hz. It is added to the switching frequency set by parameter 2606
SWITCHING FREQ. This parameter has no effect if parameter 2606 = 12 kHz.
0 = DISABLE
1 = ENABLE.
2619 DC STABILIZER
Enables or disables the DC voltage stabilizer. The DC stabilizer is used in scalar control mode to prevent possible
voltage oscillations in the drive DC bus caused by motor load or weak supply network. In case of voltage variation the
drive tunes the frequency reference to stabilize the DC bus voltage and therefore the load torque oscillation.
0 = DISABLE Disables DC stabilizer.
1 = ENABLE Enables DC stabilizer.
2625 OVERMODULATION
Enables or disables overmodulation. Disabling overmodulation can help in some applications in field weakening
area.
0 = DISABLE Disables overmodulation.
1 = ENABLE Enables overmodulation.

3006 MOT THERM TIME


Sets the motor thermal time constant for the motor temperature
model.
This is the time required for the motor to reach 63% of the final
temperature with steady load.
For thermal protection according to UL requirements for NEMA
class motors, use the rule of thumb: MOTOR THERM TIME equals
35 times t6, where t6 (in seconds) is specified by the motor
manufacturer as the time that the motor can safely operate at six
times its rated current.
The thermal time for a Class 10 trip curve is 350 s, for a Class
20 trip curve 700 s, and for a Class 30 trip curve 1050 s.

restarts. You can limit the number of resets in a specified time period and set up
automatic resets for a variety of faults.
Code Description
3101 NUMBER OF TRIALS
Sets the number of allowed automatic resets within a trial period defined
by 3102 TRIAL TIME.
If the number of automatic resets exceeds this limit (within the trial
time), the drive prevents additional automatic resets and remains
stopped.
Starting then requires a successful reset performed from the control
panel or from a source selected by 1604 FAULT RESET SEL.
3102 TRIAL TIME
Sets the time period used for counting and limiting the number of resets.
See 3101 NUMBER OF TRIALS.

Example: Three faults have occurred in


the trial time. The last is reset only if the
value for 3101 NUMBER OF TRIALS is 3 or
more.

3103 DELAY TIME


Sets the delay time between a fault detection and attempted drive restart.
If DELAY TIME = zero, the drive resets immediately.
3104 AR OVERCURRENT
Sets the automatic reset for the overcurrent function on or off.
0 = DISABLE Disables automatic reset.
1 = ENABLE Enables automatic reset.
Automatically resets the fault (OVERCURRENT) after the delay set by 3103 DELAY TIME, and the drive resumes
normal operation.
3105 AR OVERVOLTAGE
Sets the automatic reset for the overvoltage function on or off.
0 = DISABLE Disables automatic reset.
1 = ENABLE Enables automatic reset.
Automatically resets the fault (DC OVERVOLT) after the delay set by 3103 DELAY TIME, and the drive resumes
normal operation.
3106 AR UNDERVOLTAGE
Sets the automatic reset for the undervoltage function on or off.
0 = DISABLE Disables automatic reset.
1 = ENABLE Enables automatic reset.
Automatically resets the fault (DC UNDERVOLT) after the delay set by 3103 DELAY TIME, and the drive resumes
normal operation.
3107 AR AI<MIN
Sets the automatic reset for the analog input less than minimum value function on or off.
0 = DISABLE Disables automatic reset.
1 = ENABLE Enables automatic reset.
Automatically resets the fault (AI<MIN) after the delay set by 3103 DELAY TIME, and the drive resumes normal
operation.
WARNING! When the analog input signal is restored, the drive may restart, even after a long stop. Make
sure that automatic, long delayed starts will not cause physical injury and/or damage equipment.
3108 AR EXTERNAL FLT
Sets the automatic reset for external faults function on or off.
0 = DISABLE Disables automatic reset.
1 = ENABLE Enables automatic reset.
Automatically resets the fault (EXT FAULT 1 or EXT FAULT 2) after the delay set by 3103 DELAY TIME, and the drive
resumes normal operation.

WARNING! IEC 60664 requires double or reinforced insulation between live parts
and the surface of accessible parts of electrical equipment which are either nonconductive or conductive but not connected to the protective earth.
To fulfil this requirement, connect a thermistor (and other similar components) to the
drives control terminals using any of these alternatives:
Separate the thermistor from live parts of the motor with double reinforced
insulation.
Protect all circuits connected to the drives digital and analog inputs. Protect
against contact, and insulate from other low voltage circuits with basic insulation
(rated for the same voltage level as the drives main circuit).
Use an external thermistor relay. The relay insulation must be rated for the same
voltage level as the drives main circuit.
The figure below shows thermistor relay and PTC sensor connections using a digital
input. At the motor end, the cable shield should be earthed through, eg a 3.3 nF
capacitor. If this is not possible, leave the shield unconnected.

Group 40: PROCESS PID SET 1


This group defines a set of parameters used with the Process PID (PID1) controller.
Typically only parameters in this group are needed.
PID controller Basic set-up
In PID control mode, the drive compares a reference signal (setpoint) to an actual
signal (feedback) and automatically adjusts the speed of the drive to match the two
signals. The difference between the two signals is the error value.
Typically PID control mode is used, when the speed of a motor needs to be
controlled based on pressure, flow or temperature. In most cases when there is
only 1 transducer signal wired to the ACS550 only parameter group 40 is needed.
The following is a schematic of setpoint/feedback signal flow using parameter group
40.

PID controller Advanced


The ACS550 has two separate PID controllers:
Process PID (PID1) and
External PID (PID2)
Process PID (PID1) has 2 separate sets of parameters:
Process PID (PID1) SET1, defined in Group 40: PROCESS PID SET 1 and
Process PID (PID1) SET2, defined in Group 41: PROCESS PID SET 2
You can select between the two different sets by using parameter 4027.
Typically two different PID controller sets are used when the load of the motor
changes considerably from one situation to another.
You can use External PID (PID2), defined in Group 42: EXT / TRIM PID, in two
different ways:
Instead of using additional PID controller hardware, you can set outputs of the
ACS550 to control a field instrument like a damper or a valve. In this case, set
parameter 4230 to value 0. (0 is the default value.)
You can use External PID (PID2) to trim or fine-tune the speed of the ACS550.
Code Description
4001 GAIN
Defines the PID controllers gain.
The setting range is 0.1 100.
At 0.1, the PID controller output changes one-tenth as much as the error value.
At 100, the PID controller output changes one hundred times as much as the error value.
Use the proportional gain and integration time values to adjust the responsiveness of the system.
A low value for proportional gain and a high value for integral time ensures stable operation, but provides sluggish
response.
If the proportional gain value is too large or the integral time too short, the system can become unstable.
Procedure:
Initially, set:
4001 GAIN = 0.1.
4002 INTEGRATION TIME = 20 seconds.
Start the system and see if it reaches the setpoint quickly while maintaining stable operation. If not, increase GAIN
(4001) until the actual signal (or drive speed) oscillates constantly. It may be necessary to start and stop the drive to
induce this oscillation.
Reduce GAIN (4001) until the oscillation stops.
Set GAIN (4001) to 0.4 to 0.6 times the above value.
Decrease the INTEGRATION TIME (4002) until the feedback signal (or drive speed) oscillates constantly. It may be
necessary to start and stop the drive to induce this oscillation.
Increase INTEGRATION TIME (4002) until the oscillation stops.
Set INTEGRATION TIME (4002) to 1.15 to 1.5 times the above value.
If the feedback signal contains high frequency noise, increase the value of parameter 1303 FILTER AI1 or 1306
FILTER AI2 until the noise is filtered from the signal.

Code Description
4002 INTEGRATION TIME
Defines the PID controllers integration time.
Integration time is, by definition, the time required to increase the
output by the error value:
Error value is constant and 100%.
Gain = 1.
Integration time of 1 second denotes that a 100% change is
achieved in 1 second.
0.0 = NOT SEL Disables integration (I-part of controller).
0.13600.0 Integration time (seconds).

4003 DERIVATION TIME


Defines the PID controllers derivation time.
You can add the derivative of the error to the PID controller
output. The derivative is the error values rate of change. For
example, if the process error value changes linearly, the
derivative is a constant added to the PID controller output.
The error-derivative is filtered with a 1-pole filter. The time
constant of the filter is defined by parameter 4004 PID DERIV
FILTER.

4004 PID DERIV FILTER


Defines the filter time constant for the error-derivative part of the PID controller output.
Before being added to the PID controller output, the error-derivative is filtered with a 1-pole filter.
Increasing the filter time smooths the error-derivative, reducing noise.
0.010.0 Filter time constant (seconds).
4005 ERROR VALUE INV
Selects either a normal or inverted relationship between the feedback signal and the drive speed.
0 = NO Normal, a decrease in feedback signal increases drive speed. Error = Ref - Fbk
1 = YES Inverted, a decrease in feedback signal decreases drive speed. Error = Fbk - Ref
4006 UNITS
Selects the unit for the PID controller actual values. (PID1 parameters 0128, 0130 and 0132).
See parameter 3405 for list of available units.
4007 UNIT SCALE
Defines the decimal point location in PID controller actual values.

Code Description
4027 PID 1 PARAM SET
Process PID (PID1) has two separate sets of parameters, PID set 1 and PID set 2.
PID set 1 uses parameters 40014026.
PID set 2 uses parameters 41014126.
PID 1 PARAM SET defines which set is selected.
0 = SET 1 PID Set 1 (parameters 40014026) is active.
1 = DI1 Defines digital input DI1 as the control for PID Set selection.
Activating the digital input selects PID Set 2.
De-activating the digital input selects PID Set 1.
26 = DI2DI6 Defines digital input DI2DI6 as the control for PID Set selection.
See DI1 above.
7 = SET 2 PID Set 2 (parameters 41014126) is active.
811 = TIMED FUNC 14 Defines the Timed function as the control for the PID Set selection (Timed function deactivated = PID Set 1; Timed function activated = PID Set 2)
See Group 36: TIMED FUNCTIONS.
12 = 2-ZONE MIN The drive calculates the difference between setpoint 1 and feedback 1 as well as setpoint 2 and
feedback 2. The drive will control the zone (and select the set) that has a larger difference.
A positive difference (a setpoint higher than the feedback) is always larger than a negative difference. This keeps
feedback values at or above the setpoint.
Controller does not react to the situation of feedback above setpoint if another zone's feedback is closer to its
setpoint.
13 = 2-ZONE MAX The drive calculates the difference between setpoint 1 and feedback 1 as well as setpoint 2 and
feedback 2. The drive will control the zone (and select the set) that has a smaller difference.
A negative difference (a setpoint lower than the feedback) is always smaller than a positive difference. This keeps
feedback values at or below the setpoint.
Controller does not react to the situation of feedback below setpoint if another zone's feedback is closer to its
setpoint.
14 = 2-ZONE AVE The drive calculates the difference between setpoint 1 and feedback 1 as well as setpoint 2 and
feedback 2. In addition, it calculates the average of the deviations and uses it to control zone 1. Therefore one
feedback is kept above its setpoint and another is kept as much below its setpoint.
-1 = DI1(INV) Defines an inverted digital input DI1 as the control for PID Set selection.
Activating the digital input selects PID Set 1.
De-activating the digital input selects PID Set 2.
-2-6 = DI2(INV)DI6(INV) Defines an inverted digital input DI2DI6 as the control for PID Set selection.
See DI1(INV) above.

Group 45: ENERGY SAVING


This group defines the setup of calculation and optimization of energy savings.
Note: The values of saved energy parameters 0174 SAVED KWH, 0175 SAVED MWH,
0176 SAVED AMOUNT 1, 0177 SAVED AMOUNT 2 and 0178 SAVED CO2 are derived from
subtracting the drive's energy consumed from the direct-on-line (DOL) consumption
calculated on the basis of parameter 4508 PUMP POWER. As such, the accuracy of
the values is dependent on the accuracy of the power estimate entered in that
parameter.
Code Description
4502 ENERGY PRICE
Price of energy per kWh.
Used for reference when energy savings are calculated.
See parameters 0174 SAVED KWH, 0175 SAVED MWH, 0176 SAVED AMOUNT 1, 0177 SAVED AMOUNT 2 and 0178
SAVED CO2 (reduction on carbon dioxide emissions in tn).
4507 CO2 CONV FACTOR
Conversion factor for converting energy into CO2 emissions (kg/kWh or tn/MWh). Used for multiplying the saved
energy in MWh to calculate the value of parameter 0178 SAVED CO2 (reduction on carbon dioxide emissions in tn).
4508 PUMP POWER
Pump power (as a percentage of the nominal motor power) when connected directly to supply (DOL).
Used for reference when energy savings are calculated.
See parameters 0174 SAVED KWH, 0175 SAVED MWH, 0176 SAVED AMOUNT 1, 0177 SAVED AMOUNT 2 and 0178
SAVED CO2.
It is possible to use this parameter as the reference power also for other applications than pumps. The reference
power can also be some other constant power than a motor connected directly online.

Sets the number of encoder pulses per shaft revolution.
Enables the encoder operation.
Defines how mechanical angle and revolution data is reset.
See also Users Manual for Pulse Encoder Interface Module OTAC-01
(3AUA0000001938 [English]).
Code Description
5001 PULSE NR
Sets the number of pulses provided by an optional encoder for each full motor shaft revolution (ppr).
5002 ENCODER ENABLE
Enables/disables an optional encoder.
0 = DISABLE Drive uses speed feedback derived from the internal motor model (applies for any setting of parameter
9904 MOTOR CTRL MODE).
1 = ENABLE Drive uses feedback from an optional encoder. This function requires the Pulse Encoder Interface
Module (OTAC-01) and an encoder. Operation depends on the setting of parameter 9904 MOTOR CTRL MODE:
9904 = 1 (VECTOR:SPEED): The encoder provides improved speed feedback and improved low speed torque
accuracy.
9904 = 2 (VECTOR:TORQ): The encoder provides improved speed feedback and improved low speed torque
accuracy.
9904 = 3 (SCALAR:SPEED): The encoder provides speed feedback. (This is not closed loop speed regulation.
However, using parameter 2608 SLIP COMP RATIO and an encoder improves steady state speed accuracy.)
5003 ENCODER FAULT
Defines the drive operation if a failure is detected in communication between the encoder and the encoder interface
module, or between the module and the drive.
1 = FAULT The drive generates fault ENCODER ERR, and the motor coasts to a stop.
2 = ALARM The drive generates alarm ENCODER ERR and operates as if parameter 5002 ENCODER ENABLE =
0 (DISABLE), that is, speed feedback is derived from the internal motor model.
5010 Z PLS ENABLE
Enables/disables the use of an encoders Z-pulse to define the motor shafts zero position. When enabled, a Z-pulse
input resets parameter 0146 MECH ANGLE to zero to define the shafts zero position. This function requires an encoder
that provides Z-pulse signals.
0 = DISABLE Z-pulse input is not present or ignored if present.
1 = ENABLE A Z-pulse input resets parameter 0146 MECH ANGLE to zero.
5011 POSITION RESET
Resets the encoders position feedback. This parameter is self-clearing.
0 = DISABLE Inactive.
1 = ENABLE Resets the encoder position feedback. Parameters reset depends on the state of parameter 5010 Z PLS
ENABLE:
5010 = 0 (DISABLE) Reset applies to parameters 0147 MECH REVS and 0146 MECH ANGLE.
5010 = 1 (ENABLE) Reset applies only to parameter 0147 MECH REVS.

Group 81: PFC CONTROL


This group defines a Pump-Fan Control (PFC) mode of operation. The major
features of PFC control are:
The ACS550 controls the motor of pump no. 1, varying the motor speed to control
the pump capacity. This motor is the speed regulated motor.
Direct line connections power the motor of pump no. 2 and pump no.3, etc. The
ACS550 switches pump no. 2 (and then pump no. 3, etc.) on and off as needed.
These motors are auxiliary motors.
The ACS550 PID control uses two signals: a process reference and an actual
value feedback. The PID controller adjusts the speed (frequency) of the first
pump such that the actual value follows the process reference.
When demand (defined by the process reference) exceeds the first motors
capacity (user defined as a frequency limit), the PFC control automatically starts
an auxiliary pump. The PFC also reduces the speed of the first pump to account
for the auxiliary pumps addition to total output. Then, as before, the PID controller
adjusts the speed (frequency) of the first pump such that the actual value follows
the process reference. If demand continues to increase, PFC adds additional
auxiliary pumps, using the same process.
When demand drops, such that the first pump speed falls below a minimum limit
(user defined by a frequency limit), the PFC control automatically stops an
auxiliary pump. The PFC also increases the speed of the first pump to account for
the auxiliary pumps missing output.
An Interlock function (when enabled) identifies off-line (out of service) motors, and
the PFC control skips to the next available motor in the sequence.
An Autochange function (when enabled and with the appropriate switchgear)
equalizes duty time between the pump motors. Autochange periodically
increments the position of each motor in the rotation the speed regulated motor
becomes the last auxiliary motor, the first auxiliary motor becomes the speed
regulated motor, etc.
Code Description
8103 REFERENCE STEP 1
Sets a percentage value that is added to the process reference.
Applies only when at least one auxiliary (constant speed) motor is running.
Default value is 0%.
Example: An ACS550 operates three parallel pumps that maintain water pressure in a pipe.
4011 INTERNAL SETPNT sets a constant pressure reference that controls the pressure in the pipe.
The speed regulated pump operates alone at low water consumption levels.
As water consumption increases, first one constant speed pump operates, then, the second.
As flow increases, the pressure at the output end of the pipe drops relative to the pressure measured at the input
end. As auxiliary motors step in to increase the flow, the adjustments below correct the reference to more closely
match the output pressure.
When the first auxiliary pump operates, increase the reference with parameter 8103 REFERENCE STEP 1.
When two auxiliary pumps operate, increase the reference with parameter 8103 REFERENCE STEP 1 + parameter
8104 REFERENCE STEP 2.
When three auxiliary pumps operate, increase the reference with parameter 8103 REFERENCE STEP 1 + parameter
8104 REFERENCE STEP 2 + parameter 8105 REFERENCE STEP 3.

Code Description
8117 NR OF AUX MOT
Sets the number of auxiliary motors.
Each auxiliary motor requires a relay output, which the drive uses to send start/stop signals.
The Autochange function, if used, requires an additional relay output for the speed regulated motor.
The following describes the set-up of the required relay outputs.
Relay outputs
As noted above, each auxiliary motor requires a relay output, which the drive uses to send start/stop signals. The
following describes how the drive keeps track of motors and relays.
The ACS550 provides relay outputs RO1RO3.
An external digital output module (OREL-01) can be added to provide relay outputs RO4RO6.
Parameters 14011403 and 14101412 define, respectively, how relays RO1RO6 are used the parameter
value 31 PFC defines the relay as used for PFC.
The ACS550 assigns auxiliary motors to relays in ascending order. If the Autochange function is disabled, the first
auxiliary motor is the one connected to the first relay with a parameter setting = 31 PFC, and so on. If the
Autochange function is used, the assignments rotate. Initially, the speed regulated motor is the one connected to
the first relay with a parameter setting = 31 PFC, the first auxiliary motor is the one connected to the second relay
with a parameter setting = 31 PFC, and so on.

8118 AUTOCHNG INTERV
Controls operation of the Autochange function and sets the
interval between changes.
The Autochange time interval only applies to the time when
the speed regulated motor is running.
See parameter 8119 AUTOCHNG LEVEL for an overview of the
Autochange function.
The drive always coasts to stop when autochange is
performed.
Autochange enabled requires parameter 8120 INTERLOCKS =
value > 0.
-0.1 = TEST MODE Forces the interval to value 3648 s.
0.0 = NOT SEL Disables the Autochange function.
0.1336 The operating time interval (the time when the start
signal is on) between automatic motor changes.
WARNING! When enabled, the Autochange function
requires the interlocks (8120 INTERLOCKS = value > 0)
enabled. During autochange the power output is
interrupted and the drive coasts to stop, preventing
damage to the contacts.

Code Description
8119 AUTOCHNG LEVEL
Sets an upper limit, as a percent of output capacity, for the autochange logic. When the output from the PID/PFC
control block exceeds this limit, autochange is prevented. For example, use this parameter to deny autochange when
the Pump-Fan system is operating near maximum capacity.
Autochange overview
The purpose of the autochange operation is to equalize duty time between multiple motors used in a system. At each
autochange operation:
A different motor takes a turn connected to the ACS550 output the speed regulated motor.
The starting order of the other motors rotates.
The Autochange function requires:
External switchgear for changing the drives output power connections.
Parameter 8120 INTERLOCKS = value > 0.
Autochange is performed when:
The running time since the previous autochange reaches the time set by 8118 AUTOCHNG INTERV.
The PFC input is below the level set by this parameter, 8119 AUTOCHNG LEVEL.
Note: The ACS550 always coasts to stop when autochange is performed.
In an autochange, the Autochange function does all of the

Code Description
8120 INTERLOCKS
Defines operation of the Interlock function. When the Interlock function is enabled:
An interlock is active when its command signal is absent.
An interlock is inactive when its command signal is present.
The ACS550 will not start if a start command occurs when the speed regulated motors interlock is active the
control panel displays an alarm (2015, PFC I LOCK).
Wire each Interlock circuit as follows:
Wire a contact of the motors On/Off switch to the Interlock circuit the drives PFC logic can then recognize that
the motor is switched off and start the next available motor.
Wire a contact of the motor thermal relay (or other protective device in the motor circuit) to the Interlock input the
drives PFC logic can then recognize that a motor fault is activated and stop the motor.
0 = NOT SEL Disables the Interlock function. All digital inputs are available for other purposes.
Requires 8118 AUTOCHNG INTERV = 0.0 (The Autochange function must be disabled if Interlock function is

8122 PFC START DELAY


Sets the start delay for speed regulated motors in the system. Using the delay, the drive works as follows:
Switches on the contactor of the speed regulated motor connecting the motor to the ACS550 power output.
Delays motor start for the time 8122 PFC START DELAY.
Starts the speed regulated motor.
Starts auxiliary motors. See parameter 8115 for delay.
WARNING! Motors equipped with star-delta starters require a PFC Start Delay.
After the ACS550 relay output switches a motor on, the star-delta starter must switch to the star-connection and
then back to the delta-connection before the drive applies power.
So, the PFC Start Delay must be longer than the time setting of the star-delta starter.

Adjusts the speed regulated motor output down, as auxiliary motors are added, and adjusts the speed regulated
motor output up, as auxiliary motors are taken off line.
Provides Interlock functions, if enabled.
Requires 9904 MOTOR CTRL MODE = 3 (SCALAR:FREQ).

whose cumulative run time is the second shortest etc. When the demand drops, the first motor to be stopped is the
one whose cumulative run time is longest.
2 = RELAY ORDER The start order is fixed to be the order of the relays.

Embedded fieldbus
Overview
The ACS550 can be set up to accept control from an external system using standard
serial communication protocols. When using serial communication, the ACS550 can
either:
receive all of its control information from the fieldbus, or
be controlled from some combination of fieldbus control and other available
control locations, such as digital or analog inputs and the control panel.
Fieldbus controller
Fieldbus

Other devices

Connect using either:


standard embedded fieldbus (EFB) at
terminals X1:2832
fieldbus adapter (FBA) module mounted
in slot 2 (option Rxxx).

Two basic serial communications configurations are available:


embedded fieldbus (EFB) Using the RS485 interface at terminals X1:2832 on
the control board, a control system can communicate with the drive using the
Modbus protocol. (For protocol and profile descriptions, see sections Modbus
protocol technical data and ABB control profiles technical data later in this
chapter.)
fieldbus adapter (FBA) See chapter Fieldbus adapter on page 237.
Control interface
In general, the basic control interface between Modbus and the drive consists of:

The content of these words is defined by profiles. For details on the profiles used,
sees section ABB control profiles technical data on page 224.
Note: The words output and input are used as seen from the fieldbus controller
point of view. For example an output describes data flow from the fieldbus controller
to the drive and appears as an input from the drive point of view.

Planning
Network planning should address the following questions:
What types and quantities of devices must be connected to the network?
What control information must be sent down to the drives?
What feedback information must be sent from the drives to the controlling
system?

Mechanical and electrical installation EFB


WARNING! Connections should be made only while the drive is disconnected from
the power source.
Drive terminals 2832 are for RS485 communications.
Use Belden 9842 or equivalent. Belden 9842 is a dual twisted, shielded pair cable
with a wave impedance of 120 ohm.
Use one of these twisted shielded pairs for the RS485 link. Use this pair to
connect all A (-) terminals together and all B (+) terminals together.
Use one of the wires in the other pair for the logical ground (terminal 31), leaving
one wire unused.
Do not directly ground the RS485 network at any point. Ground all devices on the
network using their corresponding earthing terminals.
As always, the grounding wires should not form any closed loops, and all the
devices should be earthed to a common ground.
Connect the RS485 link in a daisy-chained bus, without dropout lines.

Network problems can be caused by multiple sources. Some of these sources are:
loose connections
incorrect wiring (including swapped wires)
bad grounding
duplicate station numbers
incorrect setup of drives or other devices on the network.
The major diagnostic features for fault tracing on an EFB network include Group 53:
EFB PROTOCOL parameters 53065309. Section Complete parameter
descriptions on page 106 describes these parameters in detail.

Diagnostic situations
The sub-sections below describe various diagnostic situations the problem
symptoms and corrective actions.
Normal operation
During normal network operation, 53065309 parameter values act as follows at
each drive:
5306 EFB OK MESSAGES advances (advances for each message properly received
and addressed to this drive).
5307 EFB CRC ERRORS does not advance at all (advances when an invalid
message CRC is received).
5308 EFB UART ERRORS does not advance at all (advances when character format
errors are detected, such as parity or framing errors).
5309 EFB STATUS value varies depending on network traffic.
Loss of communication
The ACS550 behavior, if communication is lost, was configured earlier in section
Communication fault on page 210. The parameters are 3018 COMM FAULT FUNC and
3019 COMM FAULT TIME. Section Complete parameter descriptions on page 106
describes these parameters in detail.
No master station on line
If no master station is on line: Neither the EFB OK MESSAGES nor the errors (5307 EFB
CRC ERRORS and 5308 EFB UART ERRORS) increase on any of the stations.
To correct:
Check that a network master is connected and properly programmed on the
network.
Verify that the cable is connected and that it is not cut or short circuited.
Duplicate stations
If two or more stations have duplicate numbers:
Two or more drives cannot be addressed.
Every time there is a read or write to one particular station, the value for 5307 EFB
CRC ERRORS or 5308 EFB UART ERRORS advances.
To correct: Verify the station numbers of all stations. Change conflicting station
numbers.
Swapped wires

Modbus protocol technical data


Overview
The Modbus protocol was introduced by Modicon, Inc. for use in control
environments featuring Modicon programmable controllers. Due to its ease of use
and implementation, this common PLC language was quickly adopted as a de-facto
standard for integration of a wide variety of master controllers and slave devices.
Modbus is a serial, asynchronous protocol. Transactions are half-duplex, featuring a
single Master controlling one or more Slaves. While RS232 can be used for point-topoint communication between a single Master and a single Slave, a more common
implementation features a multi-drop RS485 network with a single Master controlling
multiple Slaves. The ACS550 features RS485 for its Modbus physical interface.
RTU
The Modbus specification defines two distinct transmission modes: ASCII and RTU.
The ACS550 supports RTU only.
Feature summary
The following Modbus function codes are supported by the ACS550.

Communication profiles
When communicating by Modbus, the ACS550 supports multiple profiles for control
and status information. Parameter 5305 EFB CTRL PROFILE selects the profile used.
The primary (and default) profile is the ABB DRV LIM profile. This
implementation of the ABB Drives profile standardizes the control interface with
ACS400 drives. The ABB Drives profile is based on the PROFIBUS interface. It is
discussed in detail in the following sections.

ABB DRV LIM

DCU PROFILE The DCU PROFILE profile extends the control and status interface to
32 bits. It is the internal interface between the main drive application and the
embedded fieldbus environment.

ABB DRV FULL

ABB DRV FULL is the implementation of the ABB Drives profile that
standardizes the control interface with ACS600 and ACS800 drives. This
implementation supports two control word bits not supported by the ABB DRV LIM
implementation.

Modbus addressing
With Modbus, each function code implies access to a specific Modbus reference set.
Thus, the leading digit is not included in the address field of a Modbus message.
Note: The ACS550 supports the zero-based addressing of the Modbus
specification. Holding register 40002 is addressed as 0001 in a Modbus message.
Similarly, coil 33 is addressed as 0032 in a Modbus message.
Refer again to the Mapping summary above. The following sections describe, in
detail, the mapping to each Modbus reference set.
0xxxx Mapping Modbus coils. The drive maps the following information to the

ABB control profiles technical data


Overview
ABB Drives profile
The ABB Drives profile provides a standard profile that can be used on multiple
protocols, including Modbus and the protocols available on the FBA module. Two
implementations of the ABB Drives profile are available:
This implementation standardizes the control interface with
ACS600 and ACS800 drives.

ABB DRV FULL

ABB DRV LIM This implementation standardizes the control interface with
ACS400 drives. This implementation does not support two control word bits
supported by ABB DRV FULL.

Except as noted, the following ABB Drives Profile descriptions apply to both
implementations.
DCU profile
The DCU profile extends the control and status interface to 32 bits. It is the internal
interface between the main drive application and the embedded fieldbus
environment.
Control Word
The CONTROL WORD is the principal means for controlling the drive from a fieldbus
system. The fieldbus master station sends the CONTROL WORD to the drive. The drive
switches between states according to the bit-coded instructions in the CONTROL
WORD. Using the CONTROL WORD requires that:
The drive is in remote (REM) control.
The serial communication channel is defined as the source for controlling
commands (set using parameters such as 1001 EXT1 COMMANDS, 1002 EXT2
COMMANDS and 1102 EXT1/EXT2 SEL).
The serial communication channel used is configured to use an ABB control
profile. For example, to use the control profile ABB DRV FULL requires both
parameter 9802 COMM PROT SEL = 1 (STD MODBUS) and parameter 5305 EFB CTRL
PROFILE = 2 (ABB DRV FULL).

Fieldbus adapter
Overview
The ACS550 can be set up to accept control from an external system using standard
serial communication protocols. When using serial communication, the ACS550 can
either:
receive all of its control information from the fieldbus, or
be controlled from some combination of fieldbus control and other available
control locations, such as digital or analog inputs and the control panel.
Fieldbus controller
Fieldbus

Other devices

Connect using either:


standard embedded fieldbus (EFB) at
terminals X1:2832
fieldbus adapter (FBA) module mounted
in slot 2 (option Rxxx)

Two basic serial communications configurations are available:


embedded fieldbus (EFB) See chapter Embedded fieldbus on page 203.
fieldbus adapter (FBA) With one of the optional FBA modules in the drives
expansion slot 2, the drive can communicate to a control system using one of the
following protocols:
PROFIBUS DP
Ethernet (Modbus/TCP, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET IO, POWERLINK)
CANopen
DeviceNet
ControlNet.
The ACS550 detects automatically which communication protocol is used by the
plug-in fieldbus adapter. The default settings for each protocol assume that the
profile used is the protocols industry-standard drive profile (e.g. PROFIdrive for
PROFIBUS, AC/DC Drive for DeviceNet). All of the FBA protocols can also be
configured for the ABB Drives profile.
Configuration details depend on the protocol and profile used.These details are
provided in a users manual supplied with the FBA module.
Details for the ABB Drives profile (which apply for all protocols) are provided in
section ABB Drives profile technical data on page 248.

ACS550-01/U1 Users Manual

Control interface
In general, the basic control interface between the fieldbus system and the drive
consists of:
Output Words:
CONTROL WORD
REFERENCE (speed or frequency)
Others: The drive supports a maximum of 15 output words. Protocols limits
may further restrict the total.
Input Words:
STATUS WORD
Actual Value (speed or frequency)
Others: The drive supports a maximum of 15 input words. Protocols limits may
further restrict the total.
Note: The words output and input are used as seen from the fieldbus controller
point of view. For example an output describes data flow from the fieldbus controller
to the drive and appears as an input from the drive point of view.
The meanings of the controller interface words are not restricted by the ACS550.
However, the profile used may set particular meanings.

Control Word
The CONTROL WORD is the principal means for controlling the drive from a fieldbus
system. The fieldbus controller sends the CONTROL WORD to the drive. The drive
switches between states according to the bit-coded instructions in the CONTROL
WORD. Using the CONTROL WORD requires that:
The drive is in remote (REM) control.
The serial communication channel is defined as the source for controlling
commands from EXT1 (set using parameters 1001 EXT1 COMMANDS and 1102
EXT1/EXT2 SEL).
The external plug-in fieldbus adapter is activated:

Fieldbus adapter

ACS550-01/U1 Users Manual

239

Parameter 9802 COMM PROT SEL = 4 (EXT FBA).


The external plug-in fieldbus adapter is configured to use the drive profile
mode or drive profile objects.
The content of the CONTROL WORD depends on the protocol/profile used. See the
users manual provided with the FBA module and/or section ABB Drives profile
technical data on page 248.
Status Word
The STATUS WORD is a 16-bit word containing status information, sent by the drive to
the fieldbus controller. The content of the STATUS WORD depends on the protocol/
profile used. See the users manual provided with the FBA module and/or section
ABB Drives profile technical data on page 248.
Reference
The contents of each REFERENCE word:
can be used, as speed or frequency reference
is a 16-bit word comprised of a sign bit and a 15-bit integer
Negative references (indicating reversed rotation direction) are indicated by the
twos complement of the corresponding positive reference value.
The use of a second reference (REF2) is supported only when a protocol is
configured for the ABB Drives profile.
Reference scaling is fieldbus type specific. See the users manual provided with the
FBA module and/or the following sections as appropriate:
Reference scaling on page 252 (ABB Drives profile technical data)
Reference scaling on page 256 (Generic profile technical data).
Actual Values
Actual Values are 16-bit words containing information on selected operations of the
drive. Drive Actual Values (for example, Group 10: START/STOP/DIR parameters)
can be mapped to Input Words using Group 51: EXT COMM MODULE parameters
(protocol-dependent, but typically parameters 51045126).

Planning
Network planning should address the following questions:
What types and quantities of devices must be connected to the network?
What control information must be sent down to the drives?
What feedback information must be sent from the drives to the controlling
system?

Mechanical and electrical installation FBA


WARNING! Connections should be made only while the drive is disconnected from
the power source.
Overview
The FBA (fieldbus adapter) is a plug-in module that fits in the drives expansion slot
2. The module is held in place with plastic retaining clips and two screws. The
screws also ground the shield for the module cable and connect the module GND
signals to the drive control board.
On installation of the module, electrical connection to the drive is automatically
established through the 34-pin connector.
Mounting procedure
1

Note: Install the input power and motor cables first.


1. Insert the module carefully into the drive expansion slot 2
until the retaining clips lock the module into position.

2. Fasten the two screws (included) to the stand-offs.


Note: Correct installation of the screws is essential for
fulfilling the EMC requirements and for proper operation of
the module.
3. Open the appropriate knockout in the conduit box and
install the cable clamp for the network cable.

4. Route the network cable through the cable clamp.


5. Connect the network cable to the modules network
connector.

Communication set-up FBA


Serial communication selection
To activate the serial communication, use parameter 9802 COMM PROT SEL. Set 9802
= 4 (EXT FBA).
Serial communication configuration
Setting 9802, together with mounting a particular FBA module, automatically sets the
appropriate default values in parameters that define the communication process.
These parameters and descriptions are defined in the users manual supplied with
the FBA module.
Parameter 5101 is automatically configured.
Parameters 51025126 are protocol-dependent and define, for example, the
profile used and additional I/O words. These parameters are referred to as the
fieldbus configuration parameters. See the users manual provided with the FBA
module for details on the fieldbus configuration parameters.
Parameter 5127 forces the validation of changes to parameters 51025126. If
parameter 5127 is not used, changes to parameters 51025126 take affect only
after the drive power is cycled.
Parameters 51285133 provide data about the FBA module currently installed
(e.g. component versions and status).
See Group 51: EXT COMM MODULE for parameter descriptions.

Activate drive control functions FBA


Fieldbus control of various drive functions requires configuration to:
tell the drive to accept fieldbus control of the function
define as a fieldbus input, any drive data required for control
define as a fieldbus output, any control data required by the drive.
The following sections describe, at a general level, the configuration required for
each control function. The last column in each table below is deliberately blank. See
the users manual supplied with the FBA module for the appropriate entry.
Start/Stop Direction control

Inputs to the controller (drive outputs) have pre-defined meanings established by the
protocol. This feedback does not require drive configuration. The following table lists
a sample of feedback data. For a complete listing, see all parameters listed in

Fault handling
The ACS550 provides fault information as follows:
The control panel display shows a fault code and text. See chapter Diagnostics
on page 259 for a complete description.
Parameters 0401 LAST FAULT, 0412 PREVIOUS FAULT1 and 0413
store the most recent faults.

PREVIOUS FAULT2

For fieldbus access, the drive reports faults as a hexadecimal value, assigned
and coded according to the DRIVECOM specification. See the table below. Not all
profiles support requesting fault codes using this specification. For profiles that
support this specification, the profile documentation defines the proper fault
request process.

Actual Value scaling


For Actual Values, scale the feedback integer using the parameters resolution. (See

Where parameters are in percent, the Complete parameter list section specifies
what parameter corresponds to 100%. In such cases, to convert from percent to
engineering units, multiply by the value of the parameter that defines 100% and
divide by 100%. For example:

100 0.1% 500 Hz / 100% = 50 Hz

Assuming, for the sake of this example, that the Actual Value uses parameter 9908 MOT NOM SPEED
as the 100% reference and that 9908 = 1500 rpm.

WARNING! Do not attempt any measurement, parts replacement or other service
procedure not described in this manual. Such action will void the warranty, may
endanger correct operation and increase downtime and expense.

WARNING! All electrical installation and maintenance work described in this chapter
should only be undertaken by qualified service personnel. The safety instructions in
chapter Safety instructions on page 5 must be followed.

Diagnostic displays
The drive detects error situations and reports them using:
the green and red LED on the body of the drive
the status LED on the control panel (if an Assistant Control Panel is attached to
the drive)
the control panel display (if a control panel is attached to the drive)
the Fault Word and Alarm Word parameter bits (parameters 0305 to 0309). See
Group 03: FB ACTUAL SIGNALS on page 112 for the bit definitions.
The form of the display depends on the severity of the error. You can specify the
severity for many errors by directing the drive to:
ignore the error situation
report the situation as an alarm
report the situation as a fault.
Red Faults
The drive signals that it has detected a severe error, or fault, by:
enabling the red LED on the drive (LED is either steady on or blinking)
showing the steady red status LED on the control panel (if attached to the drive)
setting an appropriate bit in a Fault Word parameter (0305 to 0307)
overriding the control panel display with the display
of a fault code in the Fault mode (figures on the
right)

ACS550-01/U1 Users Manual

The message reappears after a few seconds if the control panel is not touched and
the fault is still active.
Flashing green Alarms
For less severe errors, called alarms, the diagnostic display is advisory. For these
situations, the drive is simply reporting that it had detected something unusual. In
these situations, the drive:
flashes the green LED on the drive (does not apply to alarms that arise from
control panel operation errors)
flashes the green LED on the control panel (if attached to the drive)
sets an appropriate bit in an Alarm Word parameter (0308 or 0309). See Group
03: FB ACTUAL SIGNALS on page 112 for the bit definitions
overrides the control panel display with the display
of an alarm code and/or name in the Fault mode
(figures on the right).
Alarm messages disappear from the control panel
display after a few seconds. The message returns
periodically as long as the alarm condition exists.

EARTH FAULT

Possible ground fault detected in the motor or motor cables. The drive
monitors for ground faults while the drive is running and while the drive is
not running. Detection is more sensitive when the drive is not running and
can produce false positives.
Possible corrections:
Check for/correct faults in the input wiring.
Verify that motor cable does not exceed maximum specified length.
Decrease the detection level for earth fault with parameter 3028 EARTH
FAULT LVL.
A delta grounded input power supply and motor cables with high
capacitance may result in erroneous error reports during non-running
tests. To disable response to fault monitoring when the drive is not
running, use parameter 3023 WIRING FAULT. To disable response to all
ground fault monitoring, use parameter 3017 EARTH FAULT.

Heatsink
The heatsink fins accumulate dust from the cooling air. Since a dusty heatsink is less
efficient at cooling the drive, overtemperature faults become more likely. In a
normal environment (not dusty, not clean) check the heatsink annually, in a dusty
environment check more often.
Clean the heatsink as follows (when necessary):
1. Remove power from the drive.
2. Remove the cooling fan (see section Main fan replacement on page 272).
3. Blow clean compressed air (not humid) from bottom to top and simultaneously use a
vacuum cleaner at the air outlet to trap the dust.
Note: If there is a risk of the dust entering adjoining equipment, perform the cleaning
in another room.

Main fan replacement


Fan failure can be predicted by the increasing noise from fan bearings and the
gradual rise in the heatsink temperature in spite of heatsink cleaning. If the drive is
operated in a critical part of a process, fan replacement is recommended once these
symptoms start appearing. Replacement fans are available from ABB. Do not use
other than ABB specified spare parts.

Capacitors
Reforming
The drive DC link capacitors need to be reformed (re-aged) if the drive has been
non-operational for more than one year. Without reforming, capacitors may be
damaged when the drive starts to operate. It is therefore recommended to reform the
capacitors once a year. See section Serial number on page 17 for how to check the
date of manufacture from the serial number shown on the drive labels.
For information on reforming the capacitors, refer to Guide for Capacitor Reforming
in ACS50, ACS55, ACS150, ACS310, ACS350, ACS355, ACS550, ACH550 and
R1-R4 OINT-/SINTboards (3AFE68735190 [English]), available on the Internet (go
to www.abb.com and enter the code in the Search field).
Replacement
The drive intermediate circuit employs several electrolytic capacitors. Capacitor life
can be prolonged by lowering the ambient temperature.
It is not possible to predict a capacitor failure. Capacitor failure is usually followed by
a input power fuse failure or a fault trip. Contact ABB if capacitor failure is suspected.
Replacements for frame size R5 and R6 are available from ABB. Do not use other
than ABB specified spare parts.

Control panel
Cleaning
Use a soft damp cloth to clean the control panel. Avoid harsh cleaners which could
scratch the display window.
Battery
A battery is only used in Assistant Control Panels that have the clock function
available and enabled. The battery keeps the clock operating in memory during
power interruptions.
To remove the battery, use a coin to rotate the battery holder on the back of the
control panel. Replace the battery with type CR2032.
Note: The battery is NOT required for any control panel or drive function, except the
clock.

Symbols
Typical ratings:
Normal use (10% overload capability)
I2N
continuous rms current. 10% overload is allowed for one minute in ten minutes.
PN
typical motor power in normal use. The kilowatt power ratings apply to most IEC, 4-pole
motors. The horsepower ratings apply to most 4-pole NEMA motors.
Heavy-duty use (50% overload capability)
I2hd
continuous rms current. 50% overload is allowed for one minute in ten minutes.
Phd
typical motor power in heavy duty use. The kilowatt power ratings apply to most IEC, 4-pole
motors. The horsepower ratings apply to most 4-pole NEMA motors.

Sizing
The current ratings are the same regardless of the supply voltage within one voltage
range. To achieve the rated motor power given in the table, the rated current of the
drive must be higher than or equal to the rated motor current. Also note that:
the ratings apply for ambient temperature of 40 C (104 F)
the maximum allowed motor shaft power is limited to 1.5 Phd. If the limit is
exceeded, motor torque and current are automatically restricted. The function
protects the input bridge of the drive against overload.
In multimotor systems, the output current of the drive must be equal to or greater
than the calculated sum of the input currents of all motors.

Technical data

280

ACS550-01/U1 Users Manual

Derating
The load capacity (current and power) decreases for certain situations, as defined
below. In such situations, where full motor power is required, oversize the drive so
that the derated value provides sufficient capacity.
For example, if your application requires 15.4 A of motor current and a 8 kHz
switching frequency, calculate the appropriate drive size requirement as follows:
The minimum size required = 15.4 A / 0.80 = 19.25 A
Where: 0.80 is the derating for 8 kHz switching frequency (see section Switching frequency derating
on page 280).

Referring to I2N in the ratings tables (starting from page 277), the following drives
exceed the I2N requirement of 19.25 A: ACS550-x1-023A-4, or ACS550-x1-024A-2.
Temperature derating
In the temperature range +40 C 50 C (+104 F122 F), the rated output current
is decreased 1% for every 1 C (1.8 F) above +40 C (+104 F). Calculate the
output current by multiplying the current given in the rating table by the derating
factor.
Example If the ambient temperature is 50 C (+122 F), the derating factor is
100% - 1%/C 10 C = 90% or 0.90.
The output current is then 0.90 I2N or 0.90 I2hd.
Altitude derating
In altitudes 10004000 m (330013,200 ft) above sea level, the derating is 1% for
every 100 m (330 ft). If the installation site is higher than 2000 m (6600 ft) above sea
level, contact your local ABB representative for further information.
Single phase supply derating
For 208240 V series drives, a single phase supply can be used. In that case, the
derating is 50%.
Switching frequency derating
When using the 8 kHz switching frequency (parameter 2606),
derate all rated currents and powers (including drive's overload currents) to 80%.
When using the 12 kHz switching frequency (parameter 2606),
derate all rated currents and powers (including drive's overload currents) to 65%
(to 50% for 600 V, R4 frame sizes, that is for ACS550-U1-032A-6 ACS550-U1062A-6),
derate ambient temperature maximum to 30 C (86 F).
Note: The continuous maximum current is limited to I2hd.
Note: Setting parameter 2607 SWITCH FREQ CTRL = 1 (ON) allows the drive to reduce
the switching frequency if/when the drives internal temperature exceeds 80 C (with
12 kHz switching frequency) or 90 C (with 8 kHz switching frequency). See the
parameter description for 2607 for details.

Disconnecting device for isolation


Install a hand-operated input disconnecting device (disconnecting means) between
the AC power source and the drive. The disconnecting device must be of a type that
can be locked to the open position for installation and maintenance work.
Europe: To meet the European Union Directives, according to standard
EN 60204-1, Safety of Machinery, the disconnecting device must be one of the
following types:
a switch-disconnector of utilization category AC-23B (EN 60947-3)
a disconnector having an auxiliary contact that in all cases causes switching
devices to break the load circuit before the opening of the main contacts of the
disconnector (EN 60947-3)
a circuit breaker suitable for isolation in accordance with EN 60947-2.
Other regions: The disconnecting device must conform to the applicable safety
regulations.
Fuses
Branch circuit protection must be provided by the end user and sized per national
and local electric codes. The following tables provide fuse recommendations for
short circuit protection on the drives input power.
The rated fuse currents given in the tables are the maximums for the
mentioned fuse types. If smaller fuse ratings are used, check that the fuse rms
current rating is larger than the input current.

Technical data

282

ACS550-01/U1 Users Manual

Check that the operating time of the fuse is below 0.5 seconds. The operating
time depends on the fuse type, the supply network impedance as well as the crosssectional area, material and length of the supply cable. In case the 0.5 seconds
operating time is exceeded with the gG or T fuses, ultra rapid (aR) fuses will in most
cases reduce the operating time to an acceptable level.

IT systems
WARNING! Do not attempt to install or remove the EMC filter screws EM1, EM3, F1
or F2 while power is applied to the drives input terminals.
For IT systems (an ungrounded power system or a high-resistance-grounded [over
30 ohm] power system):
Disconnect the ground connection to the internal EMC filter, see section
Disconnecting the internal EMC filter on page 27.
Where EMC requirements exist, check for excessive emission propagated to
neighboring low voltage networks. In some cases, the natural suppression in
transformers and cables is sufficient. If in doubt, use a supply transformer with
static screening between the primary and secondary windings.
Do NOT install an external RFI/EMC filter. Using an EMC filter grounds the input
power through the filter capacitors, which could be dangerous and could damage
the drive.

Sine filters further extend the cable lengths.

Under heading Operational limits, the Basic unit columns define the cable lengths
with which the basic drive unit works without problems within the drive specification,
without installing any further options. Column With du/dt filters defines the cable
lengths when an external du/dt filter is used.
The columns under heading EMC limits show the maximum cable lengths with
which the units have been tested for EMC emissions. The factory guarantees that
these cable lengths meet the EMC standard requirements.
If external sine filters are installed, longer cable lengths can be used. With sine filters
the limiting factors are the voltage drop of the cable, which has to be taken into
account in engineering, as well as the EMC limits (where applicable).
The default switching frequency is 4 kHz.
WARNING! Using a motor cable longer than specified in the table above may cause
permanent damage to the drive.

Motor thermal protection
According to regulations, the motor must be protected against thermal overload and
the current must be switched off when overload is detected. The drive includes a
motor thermal protection function that protects the motor and switches off the current
when necessary. Depending on a drive parameter value (see parameter 3501
SENSOR TYPE), the function either monitors a calculated temperature value (based on
a motor thermal model, see parameters 3005 MOT THERM PROT 3009 BREAK POINT
FREQ) or an actual temperature indication given by motor temperature sensors (see
Group 35: MOTOR TEMP MEAS). The user can tune the thermal model further by
feeding in additional motor and load data.

Technical data

ACS550-01/U1 Users Manual

The most common temperature sensors are:


motor sizes IEC180225: thermal switch (e.g. Klixon)
motor sizes IEC200250 and larger: PTC or PT100.
Ground fault protection
ACS550 internal fault logic detects ground faults in the drive, motor, or motor cable.
This fault logic:
is NOT a personal safety or fire protection feature
can be disabled using parameter 3017 EARTH FAULT
Note: Disabling earth fault (ground fault) may void the warranty.
could be tripped by leakage currents (input power to ground) associated with long
high capacitance motor cables.
Grounding and routing
Motor cable shielding
Motor cables require shielding using conduit, armored cable or shielded cable.
Conduit When using conduit:
Bridge joints with a ground conductor bonded to the conduit on each side of
the joint.
Bond conduit run to the drive enclosure.
Use a separate conduit run for motor cables (also separate input power and
control cables).
Use a separate conduit run for each drive.
Armored cable When using armored cable:
Use six-conductor (3 phases and 3 grounds), type MC continuous corrugated
aluminium armor cable with symmetrical grounds.
Armored motor cable can share a cable tray with input power cables, but not
with control cables.
Shielded cable For shielded cable details, see section Motor cable
requirements for CE & C-Tick compliance on page 293.
Grounding
See section Ground connections on page 285.
For CE compliant installations and installations where EMC emissions must be
minimized, see section Effective motor cable shields on page 294.

Motor cable requirements for CE & C-Tick compliance


The requirements in this section apply for CE or C-Tick compliance.
Minimum requirement (CE & C-Tick)
The motor cable must be a symmetrical three conductor cable with a concentric PE
conductor or a four conductor cable with a concentric shield, however, a symmetrical
constructed PE conductor is always recommended. The following figure shows the
minimum requirement for the motor cable shield (for example, MCMK, Draka NK
Cables).

EN 61800-3 compliant motor cables


The most efficient EMC filtering can be achieved by following these rules:
Motor cables must have an effective shield as described in section Effective
motor cable shields on page 294.
Motor cable shield wires must be twisted together into a bundle (pig-tail) the
bundle length must be less than five times its width and connected to the
terminal marked
(at the bottom right-hand corner of the drive).
At the motor end, the motor cable shield must be earthed 360 degrees with an
EMC cable gland, or the shield wires must be twisted together into a bundle (pigtail) not longer than five times its width and connected to the PE terminal of the
motor.
See section Motor cable length for 400 V drives, columns EMC limits on page
290 to check the maximum motor cable lengths and the need for filters for 400 V
drives for IEC/EN 61800-3 compliance.

Brake components
Availability
Braking availability for ACS550 drives, by frame size is:
R1 and R2 a built-in brake chopper is standard equipment. Add appropriate
resistor, as determined using the following section. Resistors are available from
ABB.
R3R6 does not include an internal brake chopper. Connect a chopper and a
resistor, or a brake unit to the DC link terminals on the drive. Contact your ABB
representative for appropriate parts.
Selecting the braking resistors (frame sizes R1 and R2)
Braking resistor must meet three requirements:
Resistance must be always higher than the minimum value RMIN defined for the
drive type in the following tables. Never use resistance below this value.
Resistance must be low enough to be able to produce the desired braking torque.
To achieve the maximum braking torque (the larger of 150% of heavy duty or
110% of nominal duty), the resistance must not exceed RMAX. If maximum
braking torque is not necessary, resistor values can exceed RMAX.
The resistor power rating must be high enough to dissipate the braking power.
This requirement involves many factors:
the maximum continuous power rating for the resistor(s)
the rate at which the resistor changes temperature (resistor thermal time
constant)
maximum braking time ON If the regeneration (braking) power is larger than
the resistor rated power, there is a limit to the ON time, or the resistor
overheats before the OFF period begins.
minimum braking time OFF If the regeneration (braking) power is larger than
the resistor rated power, the OFF time must be large enough for the resistor to
cool between ON periods.

type of braking (deceleration to zero vs. overhauling load) During
deceleration to zero, the generated power steadily decreases, averaging half
of the peak power. For an overhauling load, the braking is countering an
external force (gravity for example) and the braking power is constant. The
total heat generated from an overhauling load is double the heat generated
from deceleration to zero speed (for the same peak torque and ON time).

connection diagrams on page 25 for the resistor cable connection points.
Mandatory circuit protection
The following setup is essential for safety it interrupts the main supply in fault
situations involving chopper shorts:
Equip the drive with a main contactor.
Wire the contactor so that it opens if the resistor thermal switch opens (an
overheated resistor opens the contactor).
Below is a simple wiring diagram example.

See section Control terminals table on page 28.

Control cables
General recommendations
Use multi-core cables with a braided copper wire shield, temperature rated at 60 C
(140 F) or above:

Double shielded
Example: JAMAK by Draka NK Cables

Single shielded
Example: NOMAK by Draka NK Cables

For digital and analog I/O cables, twist the shield together into a bundle (pig-tail) not
longer than five times its width and connect it to terminal X1-1 at the drive end.
Leave the other end of the cable shield unconnected.
For connecting the shield wires of the RS485 cable, see the instructions (and notes)
in section Mechanical and electrical installation EFB on page 204.
Route control cables to minimize radiation to the cable:
Route as far away as possible from the input power and motor cables (at least
20 cm [8 in]).
Where control cables must cross power cables, make sure they are at an angle
as near 90 as possible.
Stay at least 20 cm (8 in) from the sides of the drive.
Use care in mixing signal types on the same cable:
Do not mix relay-controlled signals using more than 30 V and other control
signals in the same cable.
Run relay-controlled signals as twisted pairs (especially if voltage > 48 V). Relaycontrolled signals using less than 48 V can be run in the same cables as digital
input signals.

Technical data

300

ACS550-01/U1 Users Manual

Note: Never mix 24 V DC and 115/230 V AC signals in the same cable.


Analog cables
Recommendations for analog signal runs:
Use double shielded, twisted pair cable.
Use one individually shielded pair for each signal.
Do not use a common return for different analog signals.
Digital cables
Recommendation for digital signal runs: A double shielded cable is the best
alternative, but single-shielded, twisted, multi-pair cable is also usable.
Control panel cable
If the control panel is connected to the drive with a cable, use only Category 5 Patch
ethernet cable. The maximum length that is tested to meet EMC specifications is 3 m
(9.8 ft). Longer cables are susceptible to electromagnetic noise and must be usertested to verify that EMC requirements are met. Where long runs are required
(especially for runs longer than about 12 m [40 ft]), use a RS232/RS485 converter at
each end and run RS485 cable.

Dimensions and weights


The dimensions and mass for the ACS550 depend on the frame size and enclosure
type. If unsure of the frame size, first, find the Type designation on the drive labels
(see sections The labels contain information on the Type designation (page 17),
Ratings and frame size (page 17), Serial number (page 17), degree of protection
(see also Degrees of protection on page 306) and valid markings (see also Markings
on page 309). on page 17 and Drive labels on page 16). Then look up that type
designation in the rating tables (see chapter Technical data, page 277), to determine
the frame size.

UL/CSA markings
An UL mark is attached to ACS550 drives to verify that the drive follows the
provisions of UL 508C.
A CSA mark is attached to ACS550-U1 type drives to verify that the drive follows the
provisions of C22.2 NO. 14.
The ACS550 is suitable for use in a circuit capable of delivering not more than
100 kA RMS symmetrical amperes, 600 V maximum. The ampere rating is based on
tests done according to UL 508.
Branch circuit protection must be provided in accordance with local codes.
The ACS550 has an electronic motor protection feature that complies with the
requirements of UL 508C and, for ACS550-U1, C22.2 No. 14. When this feature is
selected and properly adjusted, additional overload protection is not required unless
more than one motor is connected to the drive or unless additional protection is
required by applicable safety regulations. See parameters 3005 (MOT THERM PROT)
and 3006 (MOT THERM RATE).
The drives are to be used in a controlled environment. See section Ambient
conditions on page 307 for specific limits.
Note: For open type enclosures, i.e. drives without the conduit box and/or cover for
IP21 / UL type 1 drives, or without the conduit plate and/or hood for IP54 /
UL type 12 drives, the drive must be mounted inside an enclosure in accordance
with National Electric Code and local electrical codes.
Brake choppers, when applied with appropriately sized brake resistors, will allow the
drive to dissipate regenerative energy (normally associated with quickly decelerating
a motor). Frame sizes R1 and R2 have a built-in brake chopper as standard

appropriate parts. See section Brake components on page 295.
EAC marking
The drive has EAC certification. EAC marking is required in Russia, Belarus and
Kazakhstan.

IEC/EN 61800-3:2004 Definitions


EMC stands for Electromagnetic Compatibility. It is the ability of electrical/electronic
equipment to operate without problems within an electromagnetic environment.
Likewise, the equipment must not disturb or interfere with any other product or
system within its locality.
First environment includes establishments connected to a low-voltage network which
supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
Second environment includes establishments connected to a network not directly
supplying domestic premises.
Drive of category C2: drive of rated voltage less than 1000 V and intended to be
installed and commissioned only by a professional when used in the first
environment.
Note: A professional is a person or organization having necessary skills in installing
and/or commissioning power drive systems, including their EMC aspects.
Category C2 has the same EMC emission limits as the earlier class first environment
restricted distribution. EMC standard IEC/EN 61800-3 does not any more restrict the
distribution of the drive, but the using, installation and commissioning are defined.
Drive of category C3: drive of rated voltage less than 1000 V, intended for use in the
second environment and not intended for use in the first environment.
Category C3 has the same EMC emission limits as the earlier class second
environment unrestricted distribution.

Compliance with the IEC/EN 61800-3:2004 +A1:2012


The immunity performance of the drive complies with the demands of IEC/
EN 61800-3, category C2 (see page 311 for IEC/EN 61800-3 definitions). The
emission limits of IEC/EN 61800-3 comply with the provisions described below.
First environment (drives of category C2)
1. The internal EMC filter is connected.
2. The motor and control cables are selected as specified in this manual.
3. The drive is installed according to the instructions given in this manual.
4. The motor cable length does not exceed the allowed maximum length specified in
section Motor cable length for 400 V drives on page 290 for the frame size and
switching frequency in use.

WARNING! In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio inference, in


which case supplementary mitigation measures may be required.
Second environment (drives of category C3)
1. The internal EMC filter is connected.
2. The motor and control cables are selected as specified in this manual.
3. The drive is installed according to the instructions given in this manual.
4. The motor cable length does not exceed the allowed maximum length specified in
section Motor cable length for 400 V drives on page 290 for the frame size and
switching frequency in use.
WARNING! A drive of category C3 is not intended to be used on a low-voltage public
network which supplies domestic premises. Radio frequency interference is
expected if the drive is used on such a network.
Note: It is not allowed to install a drive with the internal EMC filter connected on IT
(ungrounded) systems. The supply network becomes connected to ground potential
through the EMC filter capacitors, which may cause danger or damage the drive.
